Lila turned three around Burning Man 2004, and we celebrated at her pre-school. But we didn't get a chance to have the big family celebration until yesterday. Here's Lila's 3rd Birthday Party.

My darling wife Rose made a great spread of healthy, organic, snacks. My favorite are the heirloom tomatoes with mozarella and a Swiss spice called Cenofix. This is Rose with with her mom ("Bubbie").

Cousin Isaac was absolutely thrilled to be able to hold baby Matthew, 5 months old today. Behind him is the front garden of our cottage.
